[QUOTE="Grumulkin, post: 1149823, member: 29281"] I can't see how getting accuracy would be a problem with a belted case. You just ignore the belt and resized it like any other cartridge. And let's see, maybe it was the 300 H&H Magnum that won Wimbeldon many years ago. There may be some minimal advantage to short and fat. The current light varmint bench rest world record group was shot with a 6mm PPC. The current 1,000 yard ten shot bench rest world record group was shot with a 6mm Dasher. Remember though, that the world record group for light varmint had stood for 20 years and was shot with a 222 Remington which isn't short and fat. If everyone decides to shoot short and fat cartridges it only stands to reason that eventually a record will be broken by one of them. In my opinion, short and fat isn't that much of an advantage. Fat means you can't get as many cartridges in the magazine. I know they're all the fad but I don't want any of them. [/QUOTE]
